That's wonderful that that couple did get pregnant, but, let me tell
you, if my husband had come anywhere NEAR me with that 'thing' within
the first three or four weeks I probably would have dismembered him, if
you know what I mean!! The pain was just toooo horrible, there's no way
on earth we could have had intercourse!!
hope you all have a good night!
luv, Amy
